WHATS WRONG WITH THEIR FACES!?
Derpy's gonna derp.
You're going to make me cry in a corner.
Now you know how everyone else feels when you call the first episode of Cowboy Bebop terrible.
But I didn't say it was terrible.
I said it was bad!
and I mean it's a bad opening episode, not necessarily a bad episode in and of itself
and even if it isn't bad, I will never admit it that I was wrong :<

I guess I'll continue to never watch precure since their faces still weird me out and frighten me.
Different Precure series have different character designers, though.

And I have no desire to watch those either! I'll continue to look at them in h-doujins instead.

You monster.
At least their faces don't creep me out there!
Ahegao faces are not an improvement, you know.
You do know the reason that Japan loves Cure Peace, right?

Persona 4 Anime ep 25 - end
Overall the anime felt like a 7/10. The anime started off with such good potential, like the character cast and the intrigue behind the fog. The OP was delightful and the battle graphics, battle choreography, environmental modeling, texture, and particle effects were stunning. Gorgeous. However where the anime dropped the ball consistently was most things outside. Several filler episode plagued it and ruined the pacing. As one who didnt play the game, these episode felt like they had no significance other than to boost the episode count. Even worst one even had the infamous double Chie scene. If you are going to do this, at least have good visuals to keep me attentive. Worst, nothing from the episode were retained. If we remove them, then I feel, the anime wouldnt have lost anything of value. The benefit of the out of the tv scenes was at least excellent development, of Yosuke, Kanji, Naoto, and even Adachi. I think these characters were consistently memorable and pretty cool in the anime. But the greatest offense the anime committed beyond making battles an afterthought, was that ending episode. How in the world do you have such great battle choreography and graphics,
, and then drop the ball and deliver a final episode that lacks every bit of intense epic action, intense heartwrenching emotion, and firy hot action. As I sat watching I couldnt help but shake my head in despair. I can only imagine it is the fault of flaws in the source material. If only whoever worked on the persona 3 portable ending could have penned the ending to this.
Favorite characters: Yusuke, Adachi, Naoto, Kanji, Teddie

an excellent and stunning revelation that I didnt see coming in the previous episode

Pretty dull overall, if it hadnt been for the flashy nature, I probably would have dozed off. Adachi was compelling in his long run but then surprising and showing some camera lens as the boss with such a vain motive that had litrally no buildup to it, resulted in me not even caring for the boss or its motives. I guess the greatest flaw is the anime was so happy go lucky for so long that even this event still feels like its just not dark enough. Comparing it to persona 3, it is hard to feel that great about this story knowing just how dark and intense and epic that story was. Pretty conflicted. Lastly, I hate how the lens wasnt actually defeated, it will just come another day. Fortunately Yusuke had a good part.

I recognize these as words but when put together like this they make no sense.
You just aren't prepared to face the truth.
I don't know, but I wanna know. What's the reason?!
It's obviously because it's fun to play rock paper scissors with her every new episode!

Ahegao faces are not an improvement, you know.
They seem like one to me!
Tsubasa wo Kudasai does give it a run for its money, though.

Stop lying to people!
So in that newer Sakamachi no Apollon PV they confirmed a YUKI contribution.
My hype is building more and more.
My hype is building more and more.
Hey, I still agree that the former did it better, just saying that the latter is pretty good in its own right.
Japan loves her because her pose is halfway to an ahegao.
Translates to this in the otaku perv mind:

Amazing. Almost a year after the Idolm@ster hype train implodes, we finally find someone for team AmiMami.

WTF...
Including the barely pubescent girls? Though I guess that goes without saying with you.

There's an uncensored dong in one episode. I don't think you have to worry.
Oh, I see. Even that sign ties perfectly in.

There was? Why don't I remember this?
Purest form of love.
Talking of yuri, I saw a bit of the Yuru Yuri conference. This certainly wasn't like my Japanese animes.

Because it was an uncensored dong.
Why does it look like he's trying to make out with a doll (or a corpse)?
(Mostly) everyone here has looked into those doujins already, don't lie to yourselves!
This thread is heading in a dangerous direction again.

"Romance" by Tomino:
One thing I haven't talked about a whole lot is how wildly inconsistent the animation in this show can be, though that should be fairly obvious from the screencaps. At one point during the episode, we see a character in a medium closeup view. It looks pretty good, they obviously put some real effort into this shot:
Following this there are two cuts to other views, and then we cut back to this very same view. Only now it looks like this:
Ugh. This show... and yes, it still sucks in motion as well.

I swear that song reminds me so much of Hey Jude.
Uh...no I don't see it, sorry.
I HAVE now learned what ahegao is.
So there is eve a name for that face.
What other secrets are you hiding, Japan?
Yeah, Yuki was confirmed for the OP on the website a little while ago, but this trailer is indeed new. The show's looking incredible.
Is this... the announcement of a new Angel Beats! production? I wonder what specifically it'll be.

Oh man, this is great! I've come to love her voice since I discovered her in Honey and Clover.

Subete no aware
Indeed.
I wonder if this thing will bomb, since it clearly feels like a money grab.
Actually, I would be ok with more Angel Beats.
So would I, as long as there is more Girls Dead Monster.
